Get all the flavor of Buffalo chicken wings without all of the fat. Whip up these quesadillas for dinner or easy appetizers.
There's nothing that says "watching sports while lounging on the couch with a beer" more than a basket of buffalo chicken wings and blue cheese dressing. The only problem is that those suckers require a 10-mile run afterwards to work off every last fried calorie. But we shouldn't have to completely give up that "buffalo" taste altogether even if we're trying to eat healthfully. Right?
So instead, let's grill up some lean chicken breasts, toss them with hot sauce and tuck them into whole wheat tortillas along with a light, garlicky yogurt sauce.
Tailgating food accomplished. Ten-mile run averted for the time being.
I wish I could claim full ownership of this recipe, but the real credit goes to Phoebe of Feed Me Phoebe. This week, I featured her recipe on The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen blog and, let me tell you, this is the perfect recipe for either a weeknight meal or Sunday snacking while watching sports.
There are so many fantastic recipes on Feed Me Phoebe and I encourage you to pop over there to check it out. Some of the recipes that caught my eye are Moroccan Lamb Chili with Sweet Potatoes, Chickpeas & Kale (gorgeous photos, too!), Black Bean& Rice Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing and Curried Cauliflower Casserole.
